Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 141 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the incredible sharpness and beautiful craftsmanship of the kitchen tools. People frequently mention that the online ordering process is remarkably smooth, and the items arrive securely packaged. Users find that cooking prep becomes an absolute joy thanks to the lightweight design and balanced feel of each knife. However, some people mentioned that the items were actually shipped from overseas rather than the United States as initially advertised. Consumers also noted that the blades feature laser-etched patterns designed to mimic folded Damascus steel rather than being authentic traditional pieces.

"Hiroshi" Going out of Business For a Long Time!

I don't believe the ad campaign. There is no way some Japanese dude is hand crafting these knives for this price. No way.
I will say that the knives are really sharp and seem to be good. Time will be the true test. Will they sharpen well in the future? Will the handles hold up? We will see.
If you're expecting a set of sharp knives that look nice, you will get that. If you want to tell the made up story of "Hiroshi" to your friends, have fun with it.

Quality Knives

Easy ordering, payment, and delivery. Website was excellent with many photos of the knives. The product was as advertised -- sharp blades, design, and quality.

Good Buy!

First of all, it was a good buy! - I initially bought the Paring knife as a memory of Sakura-knives Company. But, then, using it I realized that it works well and well made. So, I decided to buy the whole 8 set. I chose Yozora set. They all are beautifily made, just like Japanese sword. Looked like gorgeous gifts. As such, I will cherish theme as long as I live. Good work, Hiroshi, and a Happy Retirement!

Hiroshi puts his customers first

Hiroshi puts his customers first. After some difficulties with my local
Post Office not paying attention to my hold mail request while on vacation, they were going to send my knives back to Japan as undeliverable. Hiroshi informed me and helped me resolve the situation. A potential crazy long wait was thankfully avoided due to Hiroshi’s vigilance and concern for his customer. The knives arrived and were beautiful. Exquisite work by a talented craftsman. I am so glad I found Hiroshi and Sakura Knives. They’re my most cherished knives and will find many, many years of use. Thank you Hiroshi!

I've been familiar with Sakura knives…

I've been familiar with Sakura knives for many years, and have heard and read about their excellence in the world of cutlery. I'm a very good cook and enjoy the entire process. Working with high quality instruments, in this case knives, makes an enormous difference. Unfortunately, I was not in position to purchase them in the past because of price constraints, which have now been lifted.

Superb knives

Superb knives, sturdy, sharp, and have a great feel to them. Recommend getting you an 8-piece set before they are gone. Great price!

What an edge!

What an edge! I have never had such sharp, precise cutting tools, ever!
I have only had the need to use three of the different blades in the set so far, but I'm totally hooked. Beautifully made handles, even though not the wood version, still ergonomic to my average woman's' hand I don't feel any problems for long term use. Thank you for your quick shipping and well organized website. I feel sorry your shop is closing for those who didn't take advantage and buy one of your last blade sets. They are truly pieces of art.
